    The plaster guys came out yesterday to scrape down the pool/spa walls and clean out all of the garbage that had accumulated on the bottom of each.

    I can actually see the main drains in the spa! It's been a while...

    The decking pour is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow - if it doesn't rain too much today and it doesn't rain tomorrow.

    I'm fighting the odds, I'm afraid.

    Don't listen to the weather forecasters. You know how good they are in the Houston area. You are better off consulting your lucky plastic eight ball. Look's like between you, me, and Sean our pools should be finished at about the same time. Good luck and enjoy.

    I'm a little bit behind you cats.

    Yep. They came and did the pool clean-up for me today too. I was hoping they were going to plaster as well, but when I looked outside, they had gone. And now, of course, it's raining.

    I'm trailing you guys, but at least my decking is just a one-day affair.

    Maybe I can make it up there.

    If the forecast holds, we pour the deck this Saturday.

    To paraphrase Kevin Costner in Tin Cup, I think this calls for "a nod to the gods".

    Get that rain dance going. It worked for me. I will do a little extra one for you as well. I need some dry weather so I can plant all of these plants my wife bought. Keep us posted. Good Luck.
